Universitat de Girona
La Universitat de Girona és una institució pública que cerca l’excel·lència en la docència i en la recerca, i que participa en el progrés i el desenvolupament de la societat, mitjançant la creació, transmissió, difusió i crítica de la ciència, la tècnica, les humanitats, les ciències socials i les arts.La Universitat de Girona està arrelada al país i a la cultura catalana i és un dels principals motors econòmics i culturals del seu entorn. Al mateix temps, expressa la vocació d’universalitat i d’obertura a totes les tradicions, avenços i cultures.La Universitat té la seva seu a la ciutat de Girona i s’integra en el sistema d’universitats públiques catalanes.

A mathematical correlation between biomass kinetic and membrane fouling can improve the understanding and spread of Membrane Bioreactor (MBR) technology, especially in solving the membrane fouling issues. On this behalf, ...
This study critically analyses filtration process modeling in membrane bioreactor (MBR) technology. More specifically, the variety of approaches and assumptions considered within a curated selection of resistance-in-series ...
Advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) have been proposed as tertiary treatments for municipal WWTP effluents. UV-activated peroxydisulfate (PDS) and peroxymonosulfate (PMS) are viable technological alternatives for treating ...
This paper uses an expert-based methodology to survey the barriers and strategies related to the implementation of nature-based solutions (NBS). The ambition of the paper is to offer a bird's eye overview of the difficulties ...
Cultural Ecosystem Services (CES) are essential for human well-being, particularly those provided by river landscapes. Yet, CES remains overlooked in river conservation strategies due to its intangible nature and the ...
Bacterial communities in river sediments are shaped by a trade-off between dispersal from upstream or nearby land and selection by the local environmental conditions. In temporary rivers (i.e. those characterized by long ...
In the developing countries (e.g., Palestine) a reliable assessment of climate vulnerability, exposure, and consequently risk is a key step in developing successful adaptation and mitigation plans. This study aims to examine ...
This study investigates the integration of catalytic ozonation with membrane filtration using ceramic membranes to enhance pharmaceutical’s removal. Ceramic membranes with four MWCOs and pore size (50 kDa, 150 kDa, 300 kDa, ...
Climate change, land use, and resource exploitation increasingly threaten river hydrology and water quality, leading to scarcity. Non-perennial or intermittent rivers are vulnerable systems characterised by highly variable ...
In a world threatened by water scarcity, the use of non-conventional water sources, as reclaimed wastewater, for irrigation purposes is a promising option. Nonetheless, a suitable water treatment strategy must be implemented ...
This study proposes a novel methodology to assess fouling that complements the flux-step test (FST) by integrating aeration-step tests (ASTs) to optimise the specific aeration demand (SADm) for ultrafiltration hollow-fibre ...
Exhaust Gas Cleaning Systems (EGCS), operating in open-loop mode, continuously release acidic effluents (scrubber waters) to marine waters. Furthermore, scrubber waters contain high concentrations of metals, polycyclic ...
Marine organisms are constantly exposed to complex chemical mixtures from natural and anthropogenic sources. One source that has raised concerns is the discharge water from ships equipped with exhaust gas cleaning systems, ...
Scrubber water, a waste stream generated by ships exhaust gas cleaning systems, may pose a threat when released into the marine environment due to potential contamination with poly- cyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and ...
Shipping scrubber effluents, containing a cocktail of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs), show undisputed effects at single-species experiments while PAHs fate in the marine environment after effluent discharge is ...
The use of novel high‐throughput sequencing (HTS) technologies to examine the responses of natural multidomain microbial communities to scrubber effluent discharges to the marine environment is still limited. Thus, we ...
An extended suspect screening approach for the comprehensive chemical characterization of scrubber discharge waters from exhaust gas cleaning systems (EGCSs), used to reduce atmospheric shipping emissions of sulphur oxides, ...
The increase in maritime traffic has led to substantial greywater discharges into the marine environment. Greywater, originating from sinks, showers, kitchen, and laundry facilities, contains a wide array of chemical ...
Treatment wetlands (TWs) effectively remove target pollutants and enhance urban water circularity and resilience. They constitute a prominent solution for urban wastewater treatment, thanks to their adaptability across ...
A significant fraction of Earth's ecosystems undergoes periodic wet-dry alternating transitional states. These globally distributed water-driven transitional ecosystems, such as intermittent rivers and coastal shorelines, ...
